Izzy the Hero of Roz

Part 2: The Candy People, Brick roads, And a hippie scarecrow.

Izzy woke up to the sound of high pitched voices singing a beautiful melody.
She sat up. It took a little for Izzy's eyes to adjust. But as her sight became clear she saw something incredibly unbelievable. Tiny people dancing around with rainbow swirls on their clothing. She pinched herself a few times to make sure it was real. Then she noticed a beautiful white figure floating down from the sky.
At first she thought it was the Michellan tire guy.

Then she touched the ground. "Hello. I am the Marshmallow Queen. I'm ruler of the candy people. What is your name? She said. "My, my name is Izzy." Izzy said with a shaky voice. The Marshmallow Queen gasped. Izzy was confused. "You are the one our land has been waiting for. Our hero has arrived!"

The marshmallow queen rushed Izzy over to where two paths went in different directions. Izzy saw a sign over each road. The one to the left read (safest road) and the one to the right read (deadliest road). "You must go see the Wizard. He will tell you everything you need to know!" The Marshmallow Queen said. The candy people started singing, "follow the safest brick road. Follow the safest brick road. Follow, follow, follow the safest brick road. Follow the safest bri-" Izzy cut them of one because the song was getting annoying and two she had something to say. "I'm taking the deadliest road. Can't a girl have a little fun?" Izzy said looking at the Marshmallow Queen. The Marshmallow Queen looked at her with a puzzled look. "Are you insane?" The Marshmallow Queen asked Izzy. "No I just know that I can't die in a dream. I pinched myself and it did hurt but I know it is still a dream." Izzy said looking confident. "Nobody has ever survived the deadliest road. You are the hero so you can try." The Marshmallow Queen said not sure if it was truly a good idea. "The deadliest road doesn't actually start until a couple miles down. Once you walk under that sign you can't come back through. I hope you're sure." The Marshmallow Queen said. "I am totally sure." Izzy said as she started walking towards the entrance. "Dun! Dun! Dun!" She heard the candy people sing as she walked under the sign. That is where her journey truly began.

Izzy was starting to hungry as she walked. Then she noticed a corn field. She knew the corn wouldn't be very edible, but she was starving. She walked up to one of the stalks and grabbed one of the stalks. "Hey don't you know corn has feelings too." Izzy jumped back. She looked around trying to see the person that said that. "Up here." Izzy looked up. Above her was a scarecrow girl. "Hello there." Izzy said happy to finally see another face. "Hey. I'm Sammie, protector of the corn."

"Nice to meet you Sammie. Are you going to come down?" Izzy asked looking up at Sammie.
"Sorry, but I can't come down. I have been nailed up here for 12 years. It is okay though I just go with the flow." Sammie said keeping her come attitude.
" I could try to get you down if you would like." Izzy said feeling bad for Sammie. "I think it would be a pretty good thing to stretch." Izzy looked up at Sammie then said, " a pretty good thing?I think it would be a WONDERFUL thing!!!" Izzy said as she reached up to try to pull out the screws. Izzy tugged and tugged until she had all four screws out. At first Sammie was stumbling around, then she got the hang of things.
Sammie stretched until she felt better. "Well, I better get back up there." Sammie said with a small smile. Izzy realized she would be alone again soon. "How about you come with me on my adventure." Izzy said. "But I'm protector of the corn. I can't leave it here alone."
"Sammie please, I am gonna need some help as I go. Please." Izzy looked up at Sammie. "Please! Please! Please! Please!" Izzy said. "Fine I will come." Sammie said with a smile. "Yes!!" Izzy shouted. "There is something you should know before we go. I am kind of a hippie." Sammie said to Izzy. "Yeah I noticed, but I don't mind." Off they went. Not aware of what would come ahead.
